No, that information is not exposed. When a pool reaches the
maxsources number of servers, it behaves same as if a server
was repeated maxsources times in the config.

It's not very clear to me how would that help you. There could be an
unexpected script adding or removing sources with the chronyc
add/delete command, or the reload sources command (e.g. DHCP hook).
